We're excited to launch Codestodian — a Slack bot built to bring discipline and accountability back to code reviews in the age of AI-assisted development.
Why We Built This
The rise of AI coding tools has been a double-edged sword. Developers ship faster, but review queues have ballooned and the average quality of code that enters review has dropped. Reviewers are approving things they don't fully understand. PRs sit open for days. Standards drift.
Codestodian is our answer to that problem.
What's in v0.1
This initial release includes:
- PR routing — automatic reviewer assignment based on code ownership and load balancing
- SLA enforcement — configurable deadlines with Slack reminders and escalation
- Quality gates — block merges until review thresholds are met
- GitHub integration — full webhook support for PR lifecycle events
- Slash commands — manage everything from Slack with
/cst
What's Next
We're actively working on:
- GitLab integration
- AI code detection heuristics
- Review analytics dashboard
- Linear and Jira integrations
